Volume 2 - 5 February, 2013 Dear Parents and Students 2013 – Year of Jus ce – Loreto Jus ce
The scriptural sense of jus ce goes well beyond fair play. God’s jus ce is always
right rela onships. This is the jus ce Mary Ward named as one of the three
characteris cs fundamental to her company. She knew God loved her, and her
response was love. She saw that all good works would flow from a heart
transformed by love. So she calls us to let the love of God, as revealed in Jesus’
linked to compassion to bring about a more humane and caring world based on
life and ac ons, animate us and ensure our rela onships are right, with God and neighbour and all of crea on. This requires inner freedom, to bring our whole life before God and find God in all. And it requires integrity – great honesty with ourselves and with others. Then we will be “just persons” apt for all good works – or advocacy and assistance wherever these are needed, all flowing from
love, not self‐service.
This is what is asked of you, only this,
to act justly, love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:3‐5
